Dave,

I like the bike, but the power seems to be slightly less than the BMW 650CS with almost exactly the same weight. It does have a shorter wheelbase.
It looks comfortable and fun to ride though.

Actually, that concept is called the MT-0S. The MT-03 is a newly released yamaha 660cc single based on their older concept little brother to the MT-01.OK Teach...now explain to me what's up with that chain on the fine MT-03??

The MT-03 was born for the kind of 21st century roads where bigger high-performance bikes struggle to unleash their full potential. MT-03 has instant, pulsing low-down power from its fuel-injected 660 cc single-cylinder engine and a totally new sports chassis concept engineered for hardcore street sports riding.
You get a short wheelbase, low seat height, focused centre of gravity and forward-biased riding position for hyper-manoeuvrability, superb rider feedback and excellent traction. So MT-03 is perfect for extreme riding, doesn’t matter whether you’re doing it on urban streets or mountainside hairpins. And with side-mounted rear shock, aluminium swingarm and twin underseat pipes, the MT-03 looks as trick as it rides.
